Poor Adam. He likes to think he knows something about American history when
it is so repeatedly obvious he knows so very little.

Your definition of a carpetbagger is not too dissimilar to the standard Southern
definition and, needless to say, has as little relation to the reality.

You are a classic example of the old saying: "A little knowledge can
be a dangerous thing."
